When I started buying Marvel's Civil War books, I didn't have a lot of expectations--figured that I'd like it or I wouldn't like it but I'd probably want to know about it. At first, on the whole I liked it--in any case, didn't hate it. Didn't like it to the point of having nothing to complain about, but didn't hate it. It's an event, apparently those happen in comics these days, and I'm pretty open-minded about these things.
Why'd I change my tune? When did that happen?
When it started interfering with my hobby.
Bought the Civil War-specific titles, fine, no problem.
Then there was some Civil War content in books I already buy--okay, some of that (Iron Man and Captain America* in particular) is unavoidable. Eventually it'll be over, and in the mean time, it doesn't all suck.
But when Civil War keeps my regularly-scheduled comics from their appointed rounds, that's when I object. Lateness. That's what set my teeth on edge, and that's what made me stop wanting to like Civil War.
Know what else it does? Makes me less interested in picking up future events.
Well, maybe.
But right now, Civil War? Lost the fun some time ago.
* Okay, Captain America will never wholly suck as long as Brubaker is writing it. But damn.
